[petsc-users] using DMDA with python

[Somdeb Bandopadhyay]

Hi again Sir,
             Thank you very much for the quick response. I am planning to
implement a mustiphase algorithm on collocated grid. I already qrote a C
code for 2d case, but it wasn't very generalized . So for the final
version, I intend to use python as a script to interact with PETSc kernels.
